CBL Data Recovery Technologies Expands Into China To Offer Hard Drive Recovery Services

June 14, 2000—TORONTO, CANADA— CBL Data Recovery Technologies Inc. of Toronto, Canada, a leading provider of data recovery services, has again expanded its global presence by opening a laboratory in the People’s Republic of China.

Based in Beijing under the direction of Dr. Ye Hong, Deputy Director, Information Security Division of the State Information Center, the lab is strategically and geographically placed to take advantage of the incredible growth of the Chinese computing technology market.

“We are establishing depots in 30 of the 32 provinces in the country to fulfill the need as a time and cost sensitive, reliable provider of data recovery services in this new dynamic marketplace,” says CBL’s president Bill Margeson. “These depots use our Remote Recovery Technology, fully supported by the Beijing lab, where a staff of four CBL-trained software engineers manages the network. CBL Canada provides data recovery for the physically damaged media from our Toronto laboratory.”

The opening of this lab in China follows a recent announcement of a data recovery lab being established near Frankfurt, Germany.

“Whether it’s in China, Germany or anywhere else in the world, the two largest contributing factors in data loss are hardware or system malfunctions and human error,” adds Margeson. “Together, they account for almost 75 per cent of all incidents. Software corruption, computer viruses and ‘physical’ disasters like fire and water damage make up the rest. We are establishing our presence around the world because time is a critical issue when there’s lost data involved.”

CBL has now established offices, depots and labs in the United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil, Singapore and the United States with representatives in Australia, Holland, New Zealand, Spain and Taiwan.
